Bengaluru FC captain Sunil Chhetri hattrick hero in NEROCA win!

Bengaluru FC captain Sunil Chhetri was the hattrick hero yesterday in the clubs 3-1 win over NEROCA FC in the Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.

Afterwards Chhetri said, “It feels good to qualify for the semifinals. It wasn’t easy to break down NEROCA. Mentally, we really had to push ourselves and make sure we stick to the plan to get the second goal. We had to work hard because they are a good side and played well. It was important to convert the chances because the conditions weren’t helping us. That’s what we did and so we’re really pleased to go through.”

“Whatever happened in last year’s final of the Federation Cup is history now. The semifinal against Mohun Bagan will be a different game. Their team has changed, as has ours. It’s a new tournament and nothing that has happened in the past will help anyone. It is just about us recovering and making sure we get ready for the game on the 17th (of April).”

“Our entire team, right from the head coach to the ball boy, works really hard. We have great team unity and for us it doesn’t really matter who scores. We work hard to create as many chances as we can. When you have players like Udanta and Miku, you’ll always get goals. Even Juanan and Erik have scored important goals for us. Our main motto is to create chances by playing attacking football and that’s what we try to do. We work hard in every game to make sure that we’re a tough team to beat,” Sunil Chhetri ended by saying.
